The 1980s witnessed exciting developments in theoretical writing in
Western archaeology. Where previous decades were dominated by the
Anglo-American perspective, or "New Archaeology", the recent years
showed the European debate grow in confidence and vitality. This
book, published in 1991, captures this spirit of debate as
contributors from a wide cross-section of countries evaluate the
development of the distinctly national and European characteristics
of archaeology and assess future directions. Contributors consider
an extensive range of ideologies and viewpoints, stressing the
fundamentally historical emphasis and social construction of
European archaeology. The development of archaeological theory is
traced, with specific emphasis on factors which differ from country
to country. Ultimately, it argues that the most active response to
archaeology is to celebrate theory within a constantly critical
mode. A great insight into the development of theory.
